Should I smile because your my friend

or should I cry because that's all we will ever be?

A figure quickly set up. The figure which had been soundly asleep had been interrupted by soft knocking at the window. Quietly opening the window as to not wake anyone up. Allowing the shadowed figure to come in out of the cold. Going to the bedside finding a candle and lighting it. Turning to the dark silhouette it spoke.

"Naruto-kun what are you doing here so late?"

"Hinata-chan I've finally figured out how to get Sakura-chan to like me." answered the blond boy dressed in orange and black.

The petite girl felt her heart squeeze painfully but continued listening. After all he was her friend.

The blond continued not seeing her pain which she hid so well behind her kind smile.

"I'm going to make her jealous. I want you to pretend to be my girlfriend. Your my best friend the only one who I could possibly ask this favor. Please say yes please say yes please please." he begged her.

She turned her head so he could not see the tears in her eyes. Blinking to clear her eyes she turned to him with her fake smile. "Alright Naruto-kun I'll help you."

"Alright!" he excitedly exclaimed hugging Hinata and spinning her around while she tried to quiet him down. Putting her down he threw his hands in the air then hugged her again. "Thanks Hinata-Chan I knew you wouldn't let me down. Do you think it will work?"

"I know it will." she answered. She knew it would she had seen Sakura look at her with with jealousy and anger ever since she had become close friends with him. She was his confident he showed her his true emotions not just his happy go luck one that everyone else saw. She had not doubt that Sakura will be furious when she finds out about this new relationship. The blind fold over her eyes would be lifted and she will see that she was not in love Uchiha-san but with Naruto-kun or so she hoped.

"Great we can start tomorrow. I'll leave now so you can get some sleep. Lets meet at the ramen stand tomorrow morning for breakfast." all in one breath disappearing before she could answer.

She sighed letting the tears run free. She closed the window blowing out the candle welcoming the darkness that engulfed her. She tiredly returned to her bed but could not seem to go back to sleep.
